Helen Hunt

"I know for me the subject of how to be in a relationship is precious and complicated and challenging. It wouldn't be right to make it look too easy."

Date of Birth: June 15, 1963

Birthplace: Culver City, California

She played Jamie E. Buchman on NBC's Mad About You, a scientist in Twister and won an Oscar for As Good As It Gets with Jack Nicholson.

She has a unique quiet beauty about her, and she's smart. There is nothing like being with a beautiful woman you can't talk to, right Leonardo?

Helen Elizabeth Hunt was born June 15, 1963, in Culver City, California. The daughter of Gordon, a director and acting coach, and Jane, a photographer, Helen knew from the age of 6 that she wanted to pursue an acting career.

The Hunt family moved to New York when Helen was three years old, and by the time they returned to Los Angeles, Helen had already had an agent and studied acting; her perseverance and hard work ethic were evident at a very early age. She made her acting debut at the age of 8 years old, on the television series Ark II, and appeared in a recurring role on the The Mary Tyler Moore Show the following year.

Before making her film debut in 1977's Rollercoaster, Helen went through the requisite television roles, with appearances in Made-for-TV movies such as All Together Now, Death Scream, Having Babies, and The Spell.

The Providence High School graduate appeared in shows such as The Bionic Woman, Knots Landing, Family Ties, The Facts of Life, and Gimme A Break!, but it was her role in the series It Takes Two and the Made-for-TV movie The Quarterback Princess that led to her recurring role on the highly popular television show, St. Elsewhere.
